See the ride here...


This trail was actually a pretty nice ride. It was still pretty wet around the edges, but I guess that is to be expected since spring is just beginning. The trail is single track the entire way. It isn't classified as an "out and back" since there are actually two different trails you can ride. The two main trials are the blue and white trails, blue is supposed to be easier than white. About half way through there is an offshoot of a red trail that is deemed expert. We only rode on the blue trial for this trip. At the turn around point there is a pretty neat set up of teeter totters and ramps to test your skills. You must sign a waiver before playing, but it is fun and a little challenging to say the least. I look forward to taking this ride again later in the season. If you don't trust your skills or are new on a bike I do not recommend riding this. Be prepared to fix a flat tire a time or two, for some reason the thorns really like to attack your tires on this trail. Good trail, and good ride.
